Last year, Schnicks (our lovely cat) passed away.
As a little memorial piece, I decided to make an embroidery of her for Parental Unit 1.
I used light blue fabric with white dots for this piece and sketched out my design. It is Schnicks showing us her lovely striped fur on her back with white carnations (hence the blue fabric background, white fabric would not look as good here) and a purple native flower of Australia (which I cannot find the name of, sorry). These two flowers are some favourites of PU1.
I started with the carnations just because they are fun to do.
I used dark brown for Schnicks' stripes. I changed where I wanted the tail to go.
A dusty pink for the nose and ears.
Cream for the ears, chest, and mouth.
Taupe for the tail and some fur.
And various browns and oranges for the fur.
I originally did the eyes with green, but decided against it so they were redone closed.
A dusty green was used for the stalks.
And little, native, purple flowers added.
Done!
Verdict: PU1 and PU2 loved it!
